Thanks Aussies. We Americans still need to get in control of our weight but at least now we're not the most obese.

Australia is World's Fattest Nation

I was under the impression that Australia already had the highest number of obese people per capita - so this isn't surprising.

I'm pretty sure degenerate, retarded Mcdonald's eating/big brother watching people are not exclusive to certain countries. Any place that MTV is shown will ensure that!

I wonder who came in 3rd. America has to move down the rankings even if it is a slow process.

It's not that they're moving down so much as that everyone else is moving up.

Same difference. But still, who's in 3rd? I'm fairly sure Japan and Brazil are out of the question.

That's just incorrect. The American Obesity Association finds that 30% of children and teenagers are overweight, and half of those are obese. http://www.obesity-experts.com/Childhoo ... gures.html

20-25% of Australian children are overweight or obese. http://www.child-obesity.info/child-hea ... ralia.html

I don't know where you get 66.6% from, but that isn't even close to being correct for overweight kids, let alone obese only. I think we'd know about it if 66.6% of Australian children were obese.
